‘The two next nights before the day of her examination concerning _Hartlay_, appeared the deuill in the likenesse of _Hartlay_, requesting her to take heed what she sayd, and to speake the truth, for the time was come: promising her siluer and gould. She answered (thinking it to be _Hartlay_) that the truth she had spoken already, and that she would not favour him, neither for siluer nor gold. The 2 night he departed, saying, doe as thou wilt. The day before _Hartlay_, his execution, was a sore day unto her, after which, euery day, she went to morning prayer, and was never troubled in the Church, saue the 1 day, whereon it took her about the middest of the sermon, in heauing up her shoulders, depriuing her of her sences. After the recouery of her sences, it tooke away the use of her leggs, and thus it molested her in the Church, to the admyration of the people, about an hower and halfe. ‘At the assises at _Lancaster_, was _Hartlay_ condemned and hanged. The making of his circle was chiefly his ouerthrowe, which he denyed; but breaking the rope, he, after, confessed it. ‘After this time, she had more ease in the day, than she was wont; but, in the night, she lay stif and stark, quaking and trembling, till the day she came to _Cleworth_. ‘It going thus with the 6 at _Cleworth_ and the 7 at _Salford_, M. _Starchie_ according to the counsel before given him, procured first one preacher, then an other to see them, but they knew not well what to say to their affliction. After hauing intelligence, by D. _Dee_ his butler, of the like greuous affliction of _Thomas Darling_, his uncle’s son, and recouery upon the aduice given by myself, he requested D. _Dee_ his letter unto me (though unacquainted) and obteyned it, wherwith he sent his owne also, which preuayled not with me. ‘Thereuppon, he procured other letters, whereof one was from a Iustice of peace therby, and sent the second time unto me. Then I, crauinge first the aduice of many of my brethren in the ministery, met togither at an exercise, yealded to M. _Starchie’s_ request, and, about 3 weekes after, went thither. ‘On the 16 of March ’96 M. _George More_, pastor of _Cawlke_ in _Darbyshire_, and myself, came to _Cleworth_. Whither when we were come, M. _Starchie_ tould us, that his sonn had bene well about a fortnight, and his daughter 4 dayes: and, surely, to see to, they were, at that instant, as well and free from any possession by Sathan, as any other; which we suspected to procede from the subtilty of the _diuel_, and so it proved.
